Kireeva, N. V. Mechanism of Formation of Integration Relations

Abstract: The author f the article views the nature and mechanism of formation of relations in the international integration associations in the light of the system approach. The author shows that integration relations are formed at all levels of a social association as a result of mutual interests and social contacts between actors. The processes of generalization, unifi cation and correspondence of interests have a common goal which is the sustainable development of the social integration. In the social reality interests are the expression of the universal ‘cause-and-effect’ relations lying in the basis of functioning and developmental relations of social systems. At the integration association, functional relations and developmental relations are expressed in the form of commodity and fi nancial fl ows that are directed in accordance with economic relations of economic relations. These fl ows create the global network of value chains and cross-investments. International fl ows of half-fi nished products produced by the manufacturing industry circulate between the industrialized countries and therefore create close relations between them. This triggers unifi cation of national technical standards, encourages international cooperation in science and technology, harmonizes the legal regulation guidelines and associated economic relations and so on. Thereupon particular industries of partner countries merge together and create integrate international reproduction complexes. Such merging of highly developed national economies at the microeconomic level creates the need for coordination of the foreign trade, taxation and credit macroeconomic policies of integrated states and establish effi cient payment, taxation and currency unions and common markets as well as interstate integration institutions. The process of formation of integration relations is illustrated by the examples from modern experience in international integration.
